Frequently asked questions

View all FAQs

Does ABA therapy work for autism?

Yes! Every child with autism is unique, and some children experience more significant progress with ABA therapy than others. However, studies show that children who receive two or more years of intensive behavioral interventions, such as ABA therapy, can often participate in school and social activities at the same level as their peers.

When is the best time for my child to begin ABA therapy?

The earlier, the better! Clinical research has shown that children with autism who start ABA therapy early (around age 2) are more likely to reach important developmental milestones. It also increases their chances of starting school on time alongside their peers. In fact, some children progress so well with early treatment that by the time they reach school age, they are functioning at the same level as their neurotypical classmates.

These children often have some things in common: they were diagnosed and treated early.

What is ABA therapy, and how does it work?

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is an evidence-based treatment for autism that uses positive reinforcement and play-based techniques to help children reduce target behaviors and learn new skills.

ABA therapy, like that administered at Action Behavior Centers, is tailored to the individual needs of the child.

What role do parents play in ABA therapy?

Family and caregiver involvement is key to making ABA therapy successful. At Action Behavior, biweekly Family Guidance sessions are built into every child's care. In these sessions, families meet with their child's designated BCBA to learn how to apply therapy strategies at home.
